Boo... So since last time ive had a chat with mum, and ive wanted to ring u dad but ive lost your number.. again, im gona try again tonight i rekon! SO now we are in LA. We came here from redlands which is just outside of LA after dropping kim and Jorge off at their uni. We drove down tuesday night, helped move all of Kims stuff into her dorm then got taken out to dinner with kims mum and her and Jorges parents and him. They took us to a very swanky resarante (dad style) and me and brendan had sirloin, it was delish! We then went and stayed in Jorges condo over in Palm springs which is litterally in the middle of the dessert, i hear its very famous for golf? remind me to tell you the toilet story at this point, when im home! So his condo was overlooking the green on the 8th, with mountains in the background, really gorge!! We then rushed like mad to make the check in time at college, made it and hung out all day getting them settled in and eating free food etc. Its a private uni so its all pretty swish..! We got stuck on campus cos its a drive to anywhere and we needed a lift from kims mum. The plan was to go to LA that night buit we figured it was daft to arrive in the dark with nowhere to stay so we booked into the motel that kims mum was staying in and slept there last night. Which is where you got my phone call from mum! And where you met the infamous "brog" otherwise known as brendan.. will explain all if i havent already cant remember! So we got up early this morn and kims mum dropped us at the greyhound station in some town.. we caught a bus to LA and when brendan sat down he somehow mananged to sit next to another aussie who is also traveling about, a bit more hardcore than us though, shes bein going for months and months. So we arrived in LA and realised that a. we were in the middle of skid row. and b. our motel was not only in the middle of the mexican ghetto, but its at least a 30dollar cab ride from anywhere! So we got a cab, cancelled tomorows reservations and got on the phone.. tomorow we are getting up and getting a bus into LA proper, we are gona stay at a friend of the headboys counselor ben kelly, and going out tomorow night to some frat party or something. SO!! thats about all I have to report, we got lunch from some mexican "meat market" we had a berlin style picnic lunch then slept for the rest of the noon cos we are both completely shot. The motel has a computer in the corner of the lobby which is 5bucks an hour so we have both been making full use of that! We are looking hard for places to stay in New york, not gona stay with steve cos we both feel a bit cheeky and we kinda want to be free agents, probly daft i know but, the hostel experience beckons!! Anyway, theres latin soap operas to watch and home made guacamole to eat so i must dash back to the room, dodging the flying burritos and drive by shootings of course! love to you all. (dont worry, this place isnt really that bad) Was amazing talking to you last night mum, made my week! And dad, ill give you a ring tonight hopefully! Love to you all.. xxxxxx
